City leaders spent two hours in closed session Friday at a special City Council meeting to receive an update on the investigation into a complaint against a city employee.

Officials did not specifically state what allegations they would discuss when the meeting was announced earlier this week, but all indications are the talks focused on a complaint by Asheville police Lt. William Wilke that Chief William Anderson and Capt. Stony Gonce tried to coerce him into making "false and misleading" statements about a car crash involving the chief's son in March.
